"Love hurts... When aspiring writer Guinevere Beck strides into the East Village bookstore where Joe works, he's instantly smitten. Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: She's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and as sexy as his wildest dreams. Beck doesn't know it yet, but she's perfect for him, and soon she can't resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom made for her. But there's more to Joe than Beck realizes, and much more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect facade. Their mutual obsession quickly spirals into a whirlwind of deadly consequences. A chilling account of unrelenting passion, Caroline Kepnes's You is a perversely romantic thriller that's more dangerously clever than any you've read before"--

The characters in this book are messed up. Really messed up. But that's the good part of the story. But there were some minor details I didn't enjoy, so I can't say it's the best book I've read. I liked the ending so I won't be reading Hidden Bodies.
Gravely disturbing, but fascinating read. I was glued to my kindle from the first page.
P.S. Who in the right mind would tag this as “romance”? This just might be creepier that the book itself. It makes me want to lock my doors and never step out of the safety of my home ever again.
I really wanted to love this book. It was a great concept, being told from the stalker's POV. I just wasn't gripped by the story. There wasn't a point where I had to know what happened next. The writing was good, the concept was interesting, I just felt like it wasn't well executed. There was nothing that drew me in. I felt like it relied on violence and supposed ‘shock value' rather than actual substance, though I didn't think anything Joe did was surprising. Maybe it's just me and I've read too many thrillers! Either way, I didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping I would.
If you like dark and twisted, this book is for you.
You won't be able to put it down.
